Library Cards in Schools

If the students are 15 or younger, the application goes home to the parent to sign OR if the student is 16 or over they can fill it out and sign it

The teacher or librarian looks at each application and signs it to make sure that all the information is on the application and that it is legible (to folks who don’t read students' handwriting for a living!)

Drop off the applications at a library location with "Attention: Children's Services - East Library" for grades K-5 or “Attention: Teen Services - East Library" for grades 6-12. It is helpful to have the applications in packets by class.

We will enter in the applications and issue or update cards

When they are ready for pick up we will transfer them to a library that is convenient for you to pick them up. OR, we could bring them when we come if we have scheduled a visit to your classroom

by me fax a copy of my FL ID to your library and pay for the library card can you mail the library card to Miami FL no or Yes? because i live in Miami FL and can not go to your library to get only a library card.

I love to help out at places but when I apply for them they turn me down I try so hard to get a job but when I try my hardest all my hard work was for nothing pretty much i just need a place to work because right now i am not doing anything but baby sitting i mean im getting 100$

Hi Alexzandria. We know finding a job can be very challenging. Check out our Job Search and Career Tools web page. It'll help you hone your skills and your resume so you can put your best foot forward.

Hi there. It depends on what you need to do at the library with an expired photo ID. We do not require a photo ID to use our Internet computers. If you are already registered for a library card, we can use an expired photo ID if you forgot your library card. Please talk to staff if you have other concerns.

I have been trying to check out an ebook (I have checked it out before), but every time I tried to download or place on hold, a message would pop up that said "expired Privilege" or "error, contact library". Do I need to re register or something? I do have a $.40 fine, but that hasn't given me issues in the past. Help?

Suggestion/request: If your card is expired, it would be nice to get a notification, instead of just all of a sudden being able to sign in! I'm ASSUMING this is what the problem is--don't know for certain, since all there is is a box with "Library cards expire every 3 years". So, does this mean ME? *I* certainly couldn't tell you if it's been three years or not.
(This coincides w/all the new Overdrive stuff, so am unable to tell if it's because of the changes, or exp. of my card.)

Hello,
An email notice is sent to patrons 30 days prior to library account expiration to allow plenty of time for renewal. There are other reasons that a patron may not be able to sign in on the PPLD account or the Overdrive account. A call to the library is the best way to determine the cause and solution.

I had a library card and can still login to my account. My family moved to Craig, CO. I saw someone else ask about out of area library cards and the response was that they are free. I would still like to use my card for the online access to Overdrive, Mango, and Lynda among others. I would be willing to pay an annual fee if necessary, but if cards are free is there a way to reactivate my card for access to these services? TIA

Per the email I received, I called to renew my library card. However, after I went through all the prompts, it sent me to the "main menu." I received no confirmation that my card had indeed been updated. Nor can I find that info on the web site under my account. Please help.

To get a temporary library card if you go up further on this library card page, select the option to "Apply for a library card online". Complete that online form and it is the temporary library card you need.

It seems that something did not get reset when you updated your card. Please call us at 531-6333 and press "0". When you get the operator, please ask for "Circulation" and they will be able to help you resolve this.

Hi I will live in Colorado springs for about six to 12 months. Can I get the membership here and will it be free?
I would like to use the free speaking English service. Please tell me how to use that service.

Yes, you can get a card and it will be free. You will need a photo ID and something that has your Colorado Springs address printed on it such as a bill, insurance, rental agreement, piece of mail that was delivered to this address, etc. Information on the "Speak English" classes can be found at ppld.org under the "Adult Education" link.
